Stencil Converter: Keep Counters Connected in Letters & Logos

A stencil-safe file has bridges across every closed counter — the inside of an 'O', the triangle inside an 'A', the dot inside a 'B'. Without them, those interior shapes fall out. Lazrit's stencil converter applies the bridge logic to every island in the design, sized for your stock thickness.

The problem

Turning a logo into a usable stencil by hand means clicking through every letter, every closed shape, and manually drawing bridges. Lazrit does it in one pass with material-aware widths.

How Lazrit handles it

  1. Upload your designLogo, lettering, illustration — any artwork. Lazrit vectorizes it if it's a raster.
  2. Pick the stencil modeIn the workspace, set the project mode to 'stencil-safe' (or use the preset on upload).
  3. Auto-bridge runsEvery interior counter and floating island gets bridged at the material's minimum width.
  4. Review and refineDrag bridges to spots where the resulting paint gap will be least visible.

Frequently asked questions

Does the stencil converter work with cursive scripts?

Yes — most cursive letters connect into the main field by their natural strokes, so the converter has less work to do.

Can I use the converter for reverse stencils?

Yes — see the reversed-out-text tool for the deep dive.

What if my design has very tight counters (e.g., 'e')?

Lazrit picks a bridge width consistent with the minimum-detail setting. If the counter is below threshold, you'll get a warning and a recommendation to enlarge the letter.

Can I save my stencil-bridge tuning as a workflow?

Yes — saved workflows let you re-apply the same stencil tuning to any future upload.
